Depends on the VPN.
ExpressVPN is HK/CCP owned, so I wouldn't worry too much about my privacy being violated for petty copyright infringements (BitTorrent).

With the CCP taking over HK, ExpressVPN could be used to gather information on domestic dissidents and foreign visa holders. Assuming it's not already.
(Weather or not they are owned by CCP or anything like that I have no idea, I'm just saying that being registered in BVI doesn't mean it's not possible for them to be owned by a CCP or anyone else)
Thank you for this callout. Had no idea.
Comparing VPN services, I’ve found ExpressVPN to be highly rated. The aforementioned callout means ExpressVPN may not be the best service for me.
In lieu of specific technical criteria regarding VPN services, who are the go-to (aka “top of mind” or “A list”) providers that privacy conscious, technically adroit (e.g. web dev with some sysadmin knowledge but little networking knowhow) users prefer?
In other words, I’m looking for VPN recommendations but no longer trust my own Google-fu (advert rabbit hole) to discern what is a “good” choice.
